Bufton Lodge, Barton Road, Carlton

Smiths Property Experts are favoured with instruction to market this period family home with exceptional equestrian facilities. Set on approximately 5 acres, the property features landscaped gardens and spectacular views of open countryside. It is located 1.5 miles from the historic Market Bosworth and all its amenities.

The current owners have completed extensive renovations to the property, its associated outbuildings, and land during their ownership. The result is a spacious family home in ‘move-in’ condition with South-facing mature gardens and first-class equestrian facilities.

This generous and comfortable family home has accommodation on two floors. The current owner has completely renovated and sympathetically extended the property, which has oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout.

Expect to find accommodation with beautiful period features. The floor area extends to over 3,000 square feet (including the cellar) with living accommodation centred around a South-facing outlook over private gardens, paddocks, and open countryside beyond.

In brief, expect to find five reception rooms, including a farmhouse-style kitchen/diner, a garden room, a sitting room, a dining room/study, and a magnificent formal living/dining room with a vaulted ceiling and Inglenook style feature fireplace with a wood-burning stove inset. There is a downstairs WC and a fantastic boot/tack room with a second WC.

Upstairs, the accommodation is flexible and centred around a landing with three large double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom suite has a large walk-through dressing room that would also make an excellent nursery or could potentially be split to create a fourth bedroom. The principal bedroom has a wonderful, vaulted ceiling and separate en-suite facilities.

Bufton Lodge has wonderful formal gardens extending to approximately 0.5 acres. A granite-set cobbled private driveway with electrically operated gates has a covered carport and access to the main house and outbuildings/stables. Defined by mature hedgerows, the formal gardens are South-facing and surrounded by paddock land. Mature and central lawns are bordered by pretty and well-stocked borders and flower beds, with the addition of a high-quality timber summer house (with power) to the Western edge of the gardens.

The property is located on the edge of the highly regarded village of Carlton, approximately 1.5 miles from Market Bosworth, and within easy walking distance of a well-reputed village pub. The surrounding countryside is stunning. Beautiful walks are available in all directions, and the area is excellent for hacking.
